Shepherds House Kings got off to a flying start in the first week of the Reading Wednesday Summer Cup with a 7-4 win at Group 1 opponents College Arms Sharks.

The only game in Group 2 saw the Salisbury Club edge out Oasis Colours by the odd frame.

Queens Head made the perfect start in Group 3 of the Summer Plate for lower league teams by beating Fruit Bat B 10-1.

Teams play each other on a home & away basis, with the top four in each group of the Summer Cup, and the top two plus the best two third-placed teams in the Summer Plate going into the knockout stages in August.
